72: From Savers to First-Gen Founders & Investors – with Andrea Ramos

72: From Savers to First-Gen Founders & Investors – with Andrea Ramos

This week, I’m sharing a joint episode I recorded with Andrea Ramos, founder of Building Gen Wealth. She’s a first-gen Peruvian American financial educator who teaches first-gen WOC how to move beyond saving and begin building true, long-term wealth.

We recorded this conversation because we wanted to name something that often goes unsaid: the ways our early money beliefs shaped not only how we spend—but also how we dream, take risks, and show up in business.

As first-gen, we weren’t raised to invest or become founders. We were raised to save and stay safe. But building wealth—on our terms—meant teaching ourselves a new language. One that held space for both financial security and growth.

Inside this episode, we talk about:

  • The early beliefs that shaped our “save everything” mindset
  • How Andrea’s parents’ cancer diagnoses changed her financial path
  • How even my multiple six-figure corporate salary still came with tradeoffs
  • The ways fear disguised itself as responsibility in our financial decisions
  • What we had to unlearn in order to become profitable founders and investors

Andrea is the founder of Building Gen Wealth and host of Latina Investors Podcast where she supports first-gen WOC to build wealth with confidence and clarity. If you’re new to investing or unsure where to start, check out her “Get Started” page.
